Medical form signed by a doctor approved by the french federation of scuba diving is required by law for all diving. The completed form is valid for one year.
This is one of the reasons that make diving in France for foreigners or for short stays impractical. It's for reasons like this that i don't work there despite some diving being brilliant.
I've seen a few dive centres waive the obligation by making divers sign a form saying they have been checked for medical contradictions to diving in the last year. You better ask your dive centre in advance though...
